This will help you stay come as well. Other than that, just make sure you have cleaned your teeth and mouth before coming into the procedure.

There are some things you can do to ease your initial recovery process. Prepare soft foods at home to eat for a few days after surgery. Don’t wait until after surgery, but stock up well before the day of surgery. You will need to rest the first few days after surgery, so don’t plan on doing heavy activities right after surgery. Stocking u soft foods like yogurt, ice cream, and tofu will help a lot.

Don’t go to the surgery alone. Plan for someone to take you home after surgery. Arrange rides so that you won’t have to drive.

Do they put you to sleep for wisdom teeth surgery?

There are different kinds of anaesthesia that your surgeon might give you for your procedure, depending on how severe your surgeon expects your procedure to be. It will depend on the level of comfort that you need to go through the procedure. You will be put to sleep with a general anaesthesia if your procedure is complex and will cause a lot of pain without the anaesthesia. [1]

However, that’s not always the case. In fact, putting you to sleep for a wisdom teeth extraction is rare. Most of the time, your dentist or surgeon will only give you local anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia means that you are awake during your surgery, but you won’t feel anything around the area of your wisdom teeth. Don’t worry, even though you are awake, the anaesthesia will guarantee that you won’t feel any pain during the extraction.
